Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to pressure relieving rupture disk assemblies, and more particularly, to an improved low pressure relieving rupture disk assembly wherein a blow-out part is at least partially defined by one or more perforations.
  • rupturable pressure relief devices have been developed and used heretofore. Generally, such devices have included a rupture disk supported between a pair of support members or flanges which are in turn connected to a relief passageway in a vessel or system containing fluids under pressure. When the fluid pressure within the vessel or system exceeds the predetermined rupture pressure of the disk, rupture occurs causing pressurized fluid to be relieved from the vessel or system.
  • Reverse buckling rupture disks generally include a dome-shaped portion and the fluid pressure from the vessel or system being protected is exerted on the convex side of the disk. Upon failure, the dome-shaped portion reverses and then ruptures.
  • all reverse buckling rupture disk assemblies included knife blades positioned adjacent the rupture disks thereof on the outlet sides of the disks. On reversal, the disks impaled on the knife blades causing them to open in a predetermined manner.
  • reverse buckling rupture disks have included scores on a surface thereof which create lines of weakness therein so that upon reversal, the disks tear along the lines of weakness.
  • an improved pressure relieving rupture disk assembly which overcomes the short comings of the prior art and meets the need described above.
  • the assembly is basically comprised of a rupture disk having at least one perforation therein at least partially defining a blow-out part in the rupture disk which opens and relieves pressure when the perforation is sealed and a pressure differential of predetermined magnitude is exerted on the rupture disk.
  • a sealing member is positioned over the perforation whereby the sealing member seals the perforation when a pressure differential is exerted on the rupture disk.
  • the rupture disk has a dome-shaped portion connected to an annular flange portion and the sealing member also functions as a peripheral gasket for the rupture disk.
  • One or more arcuate slits are formed in the flange portion of the rupture disk which define a hinged circular blow-out part therein.
  • the ends of the slits are preferably connected by scores which further weaken the disk and define the blow-out part therein.
  • a second peripheral gasket is positioned on the opposite side of the rupture disk from the sealing member to enhance the sealing of the rupture disk between support members and the sealing of the slit or slits.
  • FIGURE 3 is a side cross-sectional view of the assembly of FIGURE 1 illustrating the rupture disk thereof after rupture in the opposite direction.
  • FIGURE 4 is a top plan view of the rupture disk of FIGURE 1.
  • FIGURE 6 is a top plan view of another alternate form of the rupture disk of the present invention.
  • FIGURE 7 is a top plan view of still another alternate form of the rupture disk of this invention.
  • FIGURE 8 is a top plan view of yet another alternate form of the rupture disk of this invention.
  • FIGURE 9 is a top plan view of the rupture disk of FIGURE
  • a pair of arcuate scores 28 and 30 connected to the ends of the slit 26 also define the circular blow-out part 27 which includes the dome-shaped portion 22 of the rupture disk 20.
  • the ends of the scores 28 and 30 opposite from those connecting with the ends of the slit 26 define an unscored hinge area 32.
  • the gasket members 34 and 36 are each formed of a flexible material whereby they readily seal the slit 26 when a pressure differential is exerted on the rupture * disk 20. That is, when a pressure differential is exerted on the rupture disk 20 in the direction shown by the arrow 38, the slit 26 is sealed as a result of the gasket member 34 being forced by the pressure differential downwardly against the slit 26, and also by the second gasket member 36 as a result of the pressure differential forcing the entire rupture disk 20 against the second gasket member 36.
  • a pressure differential is exerted on the rupture disk assembly 10 in the opposite direction, i.e., in the direction shown by the arrow 40, the pressure differential forces the rupture disk 20 toward the gasket member 34 whereby the slit 26 is sealed thereby.
  • the rupture disk 20 When a pressure differential is exerted in the opposite direction, i.e., in the direction illustrated by the arrow 40, the rupture disk 20 prevents pressure relief in the direction 40 until a predetermined design rupture pressure differential is reached where upon the blow-out part 27 tears along the scores 30 and opens as illustrated in FIGURE 3. Because the rupture disk 20 is perforated, the rupture disk 20 reliably opens in either direction at low pressures. As mentioned, because the ends of the scores 28 and 30 define an unscored hinge area 32 in the rupture disk 20 (FIGURE 4) , the blow-out part 27 of the rupture disk 20 stays attached to the remaining part of the rupture disk 20 when rupture occurs in either direction.
  • FIGURE 7 yet another form of the rupture disk 20 is illustrated. That is, a plurality of spaced arcuate slits 50 connected by arcuate scores 52 are formed in the rupture disk 20 defining a circular blow-out part 54 therein.
  • the arrangement of slits 50 and scores 52 in rupture disk 20 illustrated in FIGURE 7 and other similar arrangements of perforations and scores whereby a hinge area is not included are utilized in applications where it is unnecessary to retain the blow-out part when pressure is relieved through the rupture disk.
  • FIGURE 9 illustrates the rupture disk 20 of FIGURE 8 sealed with strips of adhesive tape 66.

Abstract

Ensemble plaque de rupture (10) de surpression amélioré comprenant une plaque de rupture (20) pourvue d'au moins une perforation (26) définissant elle-même au moins partiellement une partie d'éclatement dans la plaque de rupture qui s'ouvre et décharge de la pression lorsque la perforation est hermétiquement fermée et qu'une différence de pression d'intensité prédéterminée s'exerce sur la plaque de rupture. Un élément d'étanchéité (24) est placé au-dessus de la perforation de la plaque de rupture pour fermer hermétiquement ladite perforation lorsqu'une différence de pression s'exerce sur la plaque de rupture.
